To date, Huawei has secured 50 commercial 5G contracts and has shipped more than 150,000 base stations to markets around the world.

To date, the Huawei Mobile Services ecosystem has more than 800,000 registered developers, and 500 million users worldwide.

"Revenue grew fast up through May," said Liang.


"Given the foundation we laid in the first half of the year, we continue to see growth even after we were added to the entity list.


That's not to say we don't have difficulties ahead.


We do, and they may affect the pace of our growth in the short term."

He added, "But we will stay the course.


We are fully confident in what the future holds, and we will continue investing as planned – including a total of CNY120 billion in R&D this year.
